Britney Spears bares plenty of skin — too much, in her opinion — in her latest
music video,
Work B----.

Yesterday, she called
TheTJ Show on WODS (103.3 FM) in Boston and told radio hosts
TJ and
Loren that she had director
Ben Mor edit the clip to make it less provocative.

“Oh, my God, we showed way more skin and did way more stuff for the video than what is actually
there,” the 31-year-old singer said. “I cut out half the video because I am a mother and because,
you know, I have children (sons
Sean Preston, 8; and
Jayden James, 7), and it’s just hard to play sexy mom while you’re being a pop
star as well. I just have to be true to myself and feel it out when I do stuff. A lot of sex goes
into what I do, but sometimes I would like to bring it back to the old days, when there was one
outfit through the whole video and you’re dancing the whole video and there’s, like, not that much
sex stuff going on.”

Her father and conservator,
Jamie Spears, and her manager,
Larry Rudolph, denied asking that she heighten the sexuality in her videos.
